I Hate Snow

Well I went from Phoenix where it was 90 degrees outside and i could barley pedal my bike thanks to my inability to race in the heat,to snow in durango. That's right mid april and it snowed and rained for the better part of today. I can't wait for the this winter to be over all ready. I'm sure it will snow during the iron horse in mid may in the passes so i'll say june will be the official end of winter for d-town.

Besides from that i hit up the bmx track with chopper yesterday. I've never felt so out of place on my bmx bike. You forget how hard it is to pedal around the track on a 30 lbs jumping bike it takes it out of you. Here is a pic of jungle on his ride home from the xc since he double flatted he had to get his time in one way or another.

We hit up senor taco for dinner sunday a must have in foutain hills. They had a 6 yr old working the drive thur so you know it is good. Not to mention he didn't have a head set so you would hear every order being placed. But the food was delightful and also didn't fit into the normally phoenix price structure. I felt like i was back in mexico at a taco stand.

NOVA

Fontana went well with 18th in the xc an 7th in stxc. It felt good to crack a top ten in the stxc. Snyder, Perry, and I hit up the go karts after the xc satuday.

It was cool to see and catch up with perry. He just living it up in socal.


Snyder Chad and I headed down to NOVA friday morning. We had to do the TT in the afternoon. The car ride made the TT hurt alittle more than normal. They started us today in the STXC off the TT. I was third row and the course basically went from 8 wide down to two wide within the first 20 meters and also had an run up in it. I got as high as 10th an ended up 13th. Tomorrow is going to be the hottest xc of the year. I think it is suppose to be over 90 and we race at 2. Right in the heat of the day. I'm staying with trafton again this year. It is so nice to hang out in a house all day instead of in a hotel room.

I'm calling a top 5 for jungle jay henry tomorrow. That is about all i got. Only one day left in the sunshine before it is back to d-town.
